The purpose of this study was to explore relations among athletic performance strategy, motion mental toughness, and optimal athletic performance. Subjects were selected from collegiate Taekwondo athletes. Data was collected through convenience sampling survey with total of 200 surveys distributed and 181 returned valid. The returned valid ratio was 90.5% and analyzed via t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Related Stepwise Regression Procedure. Results: In athletic performance strategy, significant differences exist between genders, groups, and optimal performance in collegiate taekwondo athlete. In motion mental toughness, significant differences exist between genders and optimal performance in collegiate taekwondo athlete. In sports performance strategy and motion mental toughness were positively correlated in collegiate Taekwondo athlete. The "relaxation" of athletic performance strategy can predict collegiate taekwondo athlete’s optimal results. Conclusion: collegiate taekwondo athletes, coaches and related organizations may adopt this research finding to elevate the optimal performance of taekwondo athletes.
